Beschreibung:
Subduction zones generate the world's largest and most destructive
earthquakes and most of the world' s destructive tsunamis, as has been recently shown by
the devastating Andaman-Sumatra event on 26 December 2004. Understanding the factors
leading to Earth's largest and most destructive earthquakes is not only an "obviously
important" goal, as stated in the U.S. National Science Foundation's Margins Science
Report 2004, but it is also an "utmost important" goal for the whole geoscience
community. Interrelated with this topic are still unsolved questions in seismology: Why
do subduction zones occasionally generate the largest known (Mw 〉 9)
earthquakes? And why are only a few subduction zones capable of generating Mw ~= 9
earthquakes while the rest only produce up to Mw ~= 7.5?
